In The Simpson’s series the family consists of two parents, Homer and Marge, and their three children Lisa, Bart, and Maggie in the town of Springfield. Likewise, in Family Guy their dysfunctional family consist parents Peter, and Louise; and their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie and their talking dog Brian, but played a big part in the series as well. Both families go through every day life situations like Peter being unemployed and trying to find a job to Meg being picked on in school and trying to figure out how to overcome it, while Homer has to deal with an annoying boss at work, and Bart constantly getting suspended at School. The great thing about these two shows is that almost every American family can relate to these experiences the only thing that the shows do different is add a batch of clever humor. The first differential is that The Simpson’s have been around much longer than Family Guy.
The show started with Carol, whom I'd assume was a widow, with three daughters and Mike Brady whose wife passed away, and left behind their 3 sons. After meeting the girls move into Mike's house, and then the children were living together with three different people of the opposite sex, along with a new mom and dad, plus housekeeper Alice. The Brady Bunch focused on the ways children should respond with other children and how you should act respectfully towards them. The show also showed how time together as a family was so important. Many families gathered around the TV to watch The Brady Bunch for its 5 year run.
The True All American Family: Simpsons I would like to introduce a family that I have had the pleasure to observe for quite a few years, the Simpsons. The Simpsons is an animated sitcom that airs on the FOX network. The Simpsons is a lampoonery of the middle class American lifestyle and society as well. The family is made up of Homer the father, Marge the mother, and their three kids Bart, Lisa, and Maggie where they live in the fictional town of Springfield. The Simpsons are a single income, middle class American family that most would consider dysfunctional at times, yet the family always seems to pull together in the end to form a tight bond that no one can break.

It was a late Sunday afternoon. I, Caroline Wilson, my sister, Cathie Wilson and my two elder brothers, Lyndon and Leon Wilson were having fun. Our uncle Jed was at an office party which we couldn’t attend. I was the youngest of them all. We were making ice cream.
I have noticed when I visit friends and their families are gathered around the TV set, the experience is quite boring until I join them on the couch. Ehrenreich also establishes that the “American people” have turned into the all to familiar term, “couch potato.” While not all want to admit it all of us at some point have spent hours upon hours watching our favorite television show and in that moment are a couch potato. Ehrenreich makes it clear that at one point she herself was a common couch potato she also describes the various other activities that could replace the hours
His catchphrase of “I’m coming to get you!” was a mainstay of my generation. At a young age, I wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box, so I decided to take the toy into the bathtub with me that night, unknowingly to my mother and sister, of course. Later on, my family is down in the living room watching television when all of a sudden the Cobra Commander’s famous catchphrase can be heard from upstairs in my room with nobody up there. With my mother having an absolute panic attack, she called my father, who just so happened to be working the graveyard shift at Woodhaven Foods. Frantically, she explained the situation to my dad.
On an online debate website, a student speaks out about thru experiences with homework communicating.” We kids nowadays have a lot of stuff to do. By the time we get home the day is almost over and we dinner and sports (Debate.org).” We have seven hours of school and when u get home with homework (tons) and you have dinner and sports so if we had less homework we would be able to eat dinner or eat late and no sports. On Scholastic news have parents interviewed about how less homework we should have.” What’s bad for” parents, is generally worse for kids.” School (for my son) is work,” one mother writes,” and by the end of a seven-hour workday, he’s exhausted. But like a worker on a double shift, he has to keep going once he gets home. (NEA Today).” Seven hours is a lot of the day working all day and we never stop five days a week and we have homework which is bad for us, it makes us tired.” Decades ago, the American Educational Research Association released this statement: “Whenever homework crowds out social experience, outdoor recreation, and creative activities, and whenever it usurps time that should be devoted to sleep (Scholastic news).” Kids need to play outside and have a social life they need to enjoy their free time but there is no free time because of all the homework.
They run around and work from dawn until dusk, doing school work for 19 hours straight. I am not making this up, I have friends in a small town just two hours from ere where their only free time is on the weekends, and most of that time is filled with more homework and other activities their parents sign them up for, such as extra math, Chinese, dance, piano, and lots of other things. All this gives them no time to just be kids. For us, our weekends are full of shopping in the mall, watching TV, playing video games, and sleeping. How is that not called be lazy?
